Ken Levine, who is among the names that changed the game world completely with the BioShock series, is faced with a difficult process. Continuing his activities in the Ghost Story Games company he founded, the producer cannot release his new game. It was learned that the successful name was left alone with various and interesting problems.
As of now, the company, which is under Take Two Interactive, has been trying to develop the same game for 8 years, according to the published report. Ken Levine has difficulties in presenting the project to the actors because of the resulting picture.
Ken Levine fails to deliver his game
The production, which was originally planned to be released in 2017, was developed with a low-budget and small team that could be considered a kind of independent production. The production, which was planned to take place in space, would have an atmosphere with a high level of horror theme. In fact, the production of that period was very similar to System Shock 2. However, Levine’s vision and Take Two’s goals magnified the highly anticipated game and brought it to the point where the 30-man team could not handle it.
Now, as we enter the year 2022, it has been revealed that the intriguing game has been canceled many times and has been put into the development process from the beginning. According to the report published in Bloomberg, Ken Levine himself is among the reasons for the production disruption. The perfectionist attitude of the director, who is said to have a changeable management style, seems to have put the developer team quite hard.
The production, which turned into a project with a larger budget, seems to have negatively affected most of the employees who took part in it. Ken Levine, who allegedly likens himself to Christopher Nolan, doesn’t seem to be managing the open-ended time check he got from Take Two very well either. Because Levine, who has no pressure on time, increases the pressure on his employees by enlarging his plans even more.
It is not clear whether the game, whose name is not yet known, will still have a space theme according to the latest developments. However, the report published by Bloomberg shows that there may be new developments in 2022. Let’s see if Ken Levine, who can add color to the market with BioShock, will be able to achieve this with his new production. We’ll wait and see.
